0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

ELREC AG is a well-established recycling and waste management company operating primarily in Liechtenstein and adjacent Swiss regions such as Graubünden and St.Gallen. With over 80 years of history, the company offers services including recycling, disposal, and destruction of waste materials. Their market position is that of a trusted regional service provider with certified partnerships in the waste disposal sector. The website targets businesses and organizations seeking professional recycling and disposal solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and analytics tools, hosted by Infomaniak Network SA. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the company's identity, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Business context

Business profile

ELREC AG operates in the transportation and energy sectors with a focus on recycling and waste management services. Their business model revolves around providing certified disposal and recycling solutions to regional clients. The company leverages partnerships with recognized entities in the waste management ecosystem, enhancing their service credibility. The website content and social media presence indicate active engagement with their target audience, primarily businesses in Liechtenstein and nearby Swiss cantons. The company appears to be medium-sized with a long operational history, which supports stable revenue streams and market presence. Their digital footprint includes integration with marketing tools like Mailchimp and analytics platforms, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. The use of common WordPress plugins and analytics tools is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header configurations and implement formal incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS version 6.8.3, utilizing jQuery and Splide Carousel for interactive elements. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses Koko Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking, and Mailchimp for marketing forms. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security enhancements and cookie consent mechanisms are recommended to align with best practices.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
